Technology & Products
Key Products
Machine learning-based quality-control software for additive manufacturing
Technological Advantage
Proprietary machine learning algorithms for instant learning on new shapes/processes and knowledge transfer across AM systems, protected by patents, with verified claims of 70% reduction in reprints and 3x throughput improvement.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Reduces reprints by 70%, triples throughput, and enables accurate prints in only 1-2 design iterations, cutting scrap material and machining time to address an estimated $2 billion annual global quality-control losses in AM.
How They Differentiate
Araqev's ML algorithms enable real-time closed-loop control and instant parameter learning across printers/materials, reducing iterations to 1-2 vs. competitors' more manual or simulation-based approaches; claims 70% fewer reprints and 3x throughput vs. industry standards.
